Corn Spinach Salad with Lime-Honey Dressing
Makes 4 servings.
¼ cup fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon honey
3 tablespoons Red Dog cilantro
1 fresh jalapeño pepper, seeded and chopped
¼ teaspoon salt
3 ears Red Dog sweet corn, cooked and cooled enough to handle
1 ½ cups Red Dog spinach
¾ cup Red Dog cucumber, chopped
½ cup Red Dog tomato (1 medium), chopped
In a large bowl, whisk together the lime juice and honey. Add the cilantro, jalapeño, and salt; whisk to combine. Cut the corn from the cob and add it to the dressing. Stir in the spinach, cucumber, and tomato. Serve right away or cover and chill for up to an hour.
Tip: You can omit the jalapeño entirely for a mild version, or substitute it with a small amount of finely diced bell pepper for crunch without heat. You could also use just a pinch of mild chili powder mixed into the dressing for subtle warmth.
This salad pairs beautifully with grilled chicken, fish, or steak. It’s also excellent alongside Mexican-inspired dishes like tacos, quesadillas, or grilled shrimp!
